Local Insight

Many London properties built before 2000 contain asbestos — in artex ceilings, floor tiles, pipe insulation, and roof sheets. An asbestos survey is essential before any demolition work. Licensed asbestos removal is a legal requirement and costs £500–£3,000 depending on the amount. All demolition waste must be disposed of at licensed facilities — your contractor should provide waste transfer notes.

Demolition in London — FAQs

How much does demolition cost in London?
Internal strip-out costs £1,000–£5,000 depending on scope. Wall removal costs £500–£3,000 (more if load-bearing). Garage demolition costs £1,500–£4,000. All prices include waste disposal.
Do I need planning permission for demolition?
Internal demolition doesn't need planning permission (but Building Control approval is needed for structural changes). External demolition may need permission depending on the structure and location. In conservation areas, even demolishing a garden wall may require consent.
How do you handle asbestos?
If asbestos is suspected, a survey is done first (£200–£500). If found, licensed asbestos removal contractors handle it safely. This is a legal requirement — never attempt to remove asbestos yourself. Your demolition contractor will arrange this.
What happens to the waste?
All demolition waste is taken to licensed recycling and disposal facilities. Your contractor provides waste transfer notes as proof of legal disposal. Most materials (brick, concrete, timber, metal) are recycled.
